2. Diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel

   A tank of diesel fuel on a truck. Diesel fuel, also called diesel oil, heavy oil (historically) or simply diesel, is any liquid fuel specifically designed for use in a diesel engine, a type of internal combustion engine in which fuel ignition takes place without a spark as a result of compression of the inlet air and then injection of fuel.

3. Diesel engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine

   1952 Shell Oil film showing the development of the diesel engine from 1877. The diesel engine, named after the German engineer Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of diesel fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).

4. Heavy fuel oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_fuel_oil

   Data available until 2011 for fuel oil sales to the international marine shipping sector reports 207.5 million tonnes total fuel oil sales with HFO accounting for 177.9 million tonnes. [ 9 ] Marine vessels can use a variety of different fuels for the purpose of propulsion, which are divided into two broad categories: residual oils or distillates.

5. Fuel oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_oil

   MGO (Marine gas oil) - Roughly equivalent to no. 2 fuel oil, made from distillate only; MDO (Marine diesel oil) - Roughly equivalent to no. 3 fuel oil, a blend of heavy gasoil that may contain very small amounts of black refinery feed stocks, but has a low viscosity up to 12 cSt so it need not be heated for use in internal combustion engines

6. Shell Rotella - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Rotella

   The line includes engine oils, gear oils and coolants. The oil carries both the American Petroleum Institute (API) diesel "C" rating as well as the API gasoline engine "S" rating. Ratings differ based on the oil. Rotella oils, like the T3 15W-40, meet both the API CJ-4 and SM specifications, and may be used in both gasoline and diesel engines.

7. Dieseling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieseling

   Dieseling (in the sense of engine run-on, and disregarding combustible gaseous mixtures via the air intake) can also occur in diesel engines, when the piston or seals fail due to overheating, admitting engine oil into the cylinder. A structurally failing diesel engine will often accelerate when the throttle is released, even after fuel ...
